I have always had a passion for music of all different styles ranging from Hip Hop, Reggae, Funk, Soul, Detroit Techno, House, Jungle and Drum n Bass. I remember borrowing an album from my local library with "Strings of life" by Derrick May on the tracklisting. I really couldn't get enough of that tune. I also remember dancing away at night in a disused car park with a bunch of friends listening to Voodoo Ray on my headphones.
I have been mixing for around six years now and first became interested in DJing when I was given the opportunity to spin some DnB tunes at my boyfriends brothers house. I then bought my own decks and started collecting oldskool and new Drum n Bass.
In 2002 my boyfriend and I plus a few friends held several small events called "Prestige" and "Trip to the Oldskool". When I thought I was good enough and acheived a suitable level I did a warm up set at one of our events.
The highlight of my career so far was getting a booking at the Dance Academy in Plymouth. The crowd were up for a wicked night and the atmosphere was buzzing. I love the adrenaline rush when I am playing live and I try to give the crowd that "Lady Caliber flava" adding more and more creativity to my mix sets as I go along.
I have played at:
Keats, Basstronica - EQ Arena, DNBWW 3rd Birthday Party - EQ Arena, The Big Joint - Glasgow, Liquid Bass at Peacocks - Canning Town, Informal Presents Nicky Blackmarket - El Paso, Element at The Dance Academy - Plymouth, Unite at Fimbars - Dunstable, Informal Christmas Party - Rhythm Factory, Devotion at Concorde 2 - Brighton, Refresh Inigo Bar - Clapham, Swarm at Oh Bar - Camden, SubFusion @ Rhythm Factory, SubFusion OldSkool Ride @ Brixton Mass, Jungle Pride 1st Birthday Bash @ Jamm Bar.
I am one of the owners of Oneblood Promotions, Oneblood Events and Subfusion Radio. The other co - owners are Iron Nox and DJ Flood.
Respect Records presents: GRINDA + ZIGZAG 'Share Dreams' LP
With each track of the new album by Grinda + ZigZag we plunge into the world of bright imaginations, the space romanticism and the dreams impregnated with warm sensation of today. The abundance of improbable melodic passages, bass groove and expressive drums is a new view of a duo on the creativity. Having achieved own sounding in the previous album, musicians perfect it, opening sides of the talent in an interlacing soulful and cinematic sounds, mainstream and space melodies...
